They key to beating a zone defense is with patience and ball reversals. Get the defenders moving side to side and then exploit the middle. Once the defenders commit to the middle either the baseline or an outside shooter will be free. When we struggle it's usually because we are too quick to hoist a 3 instead of actually making the offense work. IMO Lard is our secret ingredient to destry a zone defense.
Agree with this 100%. The possessions where we struggle are when we get too comfortable with the 3 point line. One thing that we lack with our four guard line up is the willingness to back cut to the basket when a defender has his back turned. It's not that we can't, we just don't because we would rather spread them out. Both strategies work, but I wish we would mix in a little of both to keep defenses guessing.
